PHP-General - Quick Question: Saving form data into .xml with PHP

Hi all experts,

I want to make a multiple selection form that allow user to upload picture, enter picture name,caption and url. I know how to make the form and i'm working on the uploading part. Just i need to know its how to generate all the data into xml once the user click submit button. Thanks for everyone help. Here is the xml output i need to generate:

Here you can go.

$_POST['image'], $_POST['caption'], $_POST['url'] are the posted HTML elements names.

$image = $_POST['image'];

$caption = $_POST['caption'];

$image = $_POST['url'];


After gathering all data from the form then, I created a variable to hold all the data entered by user in string format.


$xml_dec = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>";

$rootELementStart = "<employee>";

$rootElementEnd = "</employee>";

$xml_doc= $xml_dec;

$xml_doc .= $rootELementStart;

$xml_doc .= "<image>";

$xml_doc .= $image;

$xml_doc .= "</image>";

$xml_doc .= "<caption>";

$xml_doc .= $caption;

$xml_doc .= "</caption>";

$xml_doc .= "<url>";

$xml_doc .= $url;

$xml_doc .= "</url>";

$xml_doc .= $rootElementEnd;

$fp = fopen("example.xml",'w');

$write = fwrite($fp,$xml_doc);


fopen function opens file or URL. I assume that xml_file directory is there so I have checked for error during fopen function call.


I have used fwrite($fp,$xml_doc); to store the xml string into a file.
